I have Acrobat 6.0 and Reader 6.0 installed on my PC (Dell Pentium 4, 512 MB 
RAM, Win XP Pro).  I installed Reader after noticing that Acrobat would 
typically take >3 minutes to open a document the first time following 
booting the system (subsequent sessions opened reasonably fast until the 
following reboot).  Despite designating Reader as my default .pdf viewer, in 
some cases, but not always (haven't detected a pattern), the system uses 
Acrobat to open them.

Anyone know a.) why Acrobat takes so long to open the first time following 
boot-up, and b.) why the system sometimes uses Acrobat instead of Reader 
despite having made Reader my default viewer?

Thanks,
jim
